The Election Commission also upheld the decisions, prompting the former prime minister to move the High Court on Monday. Advocate AJ Mohammad Ali represented Khaleda while Attorney General Mahbubey Alam stood in for the Election Commission. “We are optimistic about getting justice,” Masud Ahmed Talukder, one of Khaleda's lawyers, told UNB. Her punishment was doubled by the High Court on October 30. Khaleda's lawyers moved the Election Commission on Wednesday.
